I Feel I may have been one of the culprits here. I became aware that I was 
infected with the mentioned virus earlier today. I know my computer sent 
out mail with the virus because it came back to me twice as undeliverable. 
I have since formatted the system and am now learning how to use Eudora as 
my email program. I think I have had enough of Outlook Express.
I am sorry for any problems this may have caused.
